The originally calm NBA league caused an uproar again because of Xie Chen's words!

"The strongest Xie Chen this season"! These words alone are enough to catch everyone's eye! For most people, Xie Chen is already strong enough to exceed their definition of a rookie, although he has shortcomings, but he is already the core of the team and a superstar, how can he be strong!

Many people suspect that Xie Chen is boasting, especially the Chinese fans in the NBA bar, who posted one by one that Xie Chen was playing tricks, if Xie Chen could win this series live broadcast or something.

But as soon as he remembered that Xie Chen had done this before, he no longer looked down on Xie Chen. During the All-Star voting, Xie Chen "bragged" about his dunk ability, and when the All-Star game came, everyone found that this was not bragging, since Xie Chen is not a person who likes to talk big, then in the next game against the Bulls, Xie Chen may really show all the hole cards, but what is this hole card?

For the next whole day, Xie Chen became the focus of everyone's talk in the NBA circle, today there is the fourth game between the Cavaliers and the Hawks, the Rockets and the Clippers, and the Cavaliers even have a chance to solve the battle tonight and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals!

But even so, there are still not too many people paying attention, everyone is talking about Xie Chen except Xie Chen!

Chicago Training Gym, as Xie Chen's opponent, the whole Bulls team fell into a treacherous atmosphere, some players disdained Xie Chen's threat, and some players expressed concern.

Coach Thibodeau was calm on the surface, and comforted him by saying that he should not care about what the opponent said, but to see what the opponent could do on the field, and not to be disturbed by a word, but Thibodeau's heart was already in a mess.

Rose walked up to Jimmy Butler and took the initiative to chat in a rare way: "Jimmy, there may be a lot of variables in the next game. Not surprisingly, the next Xie will be guarded by you from beginning to end, what are your plans? ”

Jimmy Butler smiled contemptuously: "Hmph, I don't care if that guy is going to turn on the 'strongest state', he can't bluff me, I have already figured out his offensive routine." I also know how to deal with it, don't worry, D-Rose, I'll kill him in the next game! ”

It's a good thing that his teammates are so confident, but Ross is still at ease, worried that Jimmy Butler will be too underestimated, Ross has dealt with Xie Chen more than once, and from Ross's understanding of Xie Chen, Xie Chen is not a person who likes to brag about himself. He must have the strength to say that.

Phillips Arena in Atlanta.

Budenholzer's face was full of vicissitudes, and the spirit of the regular season can no longer be seen, 0:3, the Hawks actually played 0:3 with the Cavaliers!

Indeed, before the start of this Eastern Conference semifinals series, many experts were unanimously optimistic about the Cavaliers, but no one expected the Cavaliers to sweep their opponents and win each game so easily! The eagles did not cause the slightest resistance to the knights at all! On the contrary, the injury of his own player. Stop, stop.

Looking at the tens of thousands of fans who were still there to support him, Budenholzer felt guilty: "I'm sorry. I can only wait until next year to fight again! The knight injured three of my generals in a row! Your good fortune won't last forever, and even if we are defeated, I will watch you be repelled by Xie and his heat! Chris Shet, your secret weapon better not disappoint me! ”

Budenholzer, who has never liked Xie Chen very much, actually put his hope on the next round opponent of the Cavaliers, in his opinion. Only the Heat can beat the Cavaliers, because the Bulls' ceiling can be predicted, but the Heat's ceiling cannot be predicted, Xie Chen is a player who can't be understood by anyone!

The game begins. James made a steal, counterattacked a dragon dunk to kick off the Cavaliers' offense, in the first quarter, the Cavaliers led 32-20, the state was very brave, the second quarter of the Hawks' defense was still unable to resist the Cavaliers' sharp offense, and the outside shooting they relied on for survival was no longer the threat of the past.

In the second half of the third quarter, the game completely lost suspense, and in the final quarter, both sides replaced the main force, and in the boos of the fans, the Cavaliers will gather around and laugh, and they advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals!

"Yay! We won! Owen was the first to shout excitedly, high-five his teammates one by one, and advanced! Finally advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals! One step closer to the finals and championships!

Not only Irving, but for many players in the Cavaliers, it is the first time to participate in the Eastern Conference Finals, only James, who is quite calm, because he knows that the most difficult moment is coming! I just don't know, that opponent is the Bulls or the Heat!

Although the Cavaliers advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals, it has long been expected, but the Heat and Bulls still can't help but have a sense of shock and anxiety, their opponent has been determined, it is the Cavaliers led by James and Irving, and the Cavaliers have been waiting for them for many days in advance, they must do their best to solve this series and fight the Cavaliers!

Who qualifies for the Cleveland Cavaliers, the biggest favorites to challenge for the championship? Is it the Heat or the Bulls? It has once again become a hot topic of discussion among fans, and everyone agrees that tomorrow's game will give a signal that if the Heat loses, it must be the Bulls against the Cavaliers!

After the Cavaliers advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals, a battle in the West also began, the Rockets and the Clippers, previously, the Rockets had fallen behind 1:2, this victory was inevitable for the Rockets, and the Heat was in the same situation.

However, the Rockets did not play a good role model for the Heat, Howard made 1 of 6 free throws and scored only 6 points, Jordan Jr. made 14 of 34 free throws, 17 rebounds, and scored 26 points.

The Rockets are 1:3 behind! On the verge of elimination!

At this time, everyone was surprised to find that the top three MVPs were all in trouble! Xie Chen's Heat is behind, Curry's Warriors are behind, and Harden's Rockets are also behind. Could it be that the curse that MVP can't win the championship works again?

The next day, the United Center Arena in Chicago.

Michael Jordan's sculpture still stands outside the stadium to be worshiped by everyone, the fans at the scene are still wearing red uniforms and cheering for their team, some fans are very dissatisfied with Xie Chen's words on the Internet, and a girl holds up a sign saying please don't set off smoke bombs.

But. Thanks to Xie Chen, this game has attracted more fans around the world to watch, and CCTV will also broadcast the commentary of this game.

Scott Pippen was still watching the game, and when Xie Chen walked into the stadium from the players' tunnel as a visiting player, the audience resounded with deafening boos, and Pippen couldn't help laughing.

When the Bulls home team players are on the court one by one. The fans released all their enthusiasm and cheers, Rose shot in the last game, and he was the team's ace for many years, so he naturally received a lot of applause, but when Jimmy Butler played, he received more cheers than Rose!

"Jimmy! You must kill that big talker tonight! So he can't even get 10 points! ”

"Come on! Jimmy! Let Xie see what the strongest defense is! ”

The fans on both sides of the players' tunnel kept leaning down to speak to Jimmy Butler, and Butler also clenched his fists when he heard it and glanced at Xie Chen. I secretly said in my heart: "I will not disappoint the team and fans, thank you, I will eat you tonight!" ”

When the players on both sides walked to the court, Rose was the first to walk to the center of the court and catch up with Xie Chen.

Looking at Xie Chen's stern expression, Rose smiled and said, "You succeeded, brother, these two days." All the people around me, no. It should be people all over the world, presumably talking about you, guessing how strong you will be today? Hehe, from the beginning of the All-Star vote, I knew that you were a guy who was very good at hype and good at fishing for fans' appetites. However, it is different from last time. The most important thing tonight is not how strong you are, but who can win the game, and even if you do have a secret weapon, if you can't win the game, you will still be a laughing stock. It's the playoffs, you know? ”

Xie Chen smiled lightly: "The strongest me, if I can't get a victory, then even if the Heat is eliminated, I have nothing to say, but the Bulls are not such a strong opponent." ”

Rose smiled: "Very good, sure enough, there is confidence." It's a pity that I didn't defend you tonight, otherwise, I would have been able to limit you completely! ”

Rose has always complained about Thibodeau's arrangement, because Rose can also prevent Xie Chen's breakthrough, and he can defend better than Jimmy Butler, however, Butler has the height and can interfere with Xie Chen's three-point shot, which Rose can't compare with the other party.

Xie Chen still refused to admit defeat and continued: "You can go with Jimmy. ”

Rose chuckled lightly and walked back to his half, Jimmy Butler said that he disdained Xie Chen's secret weapon, but he was still anxious, and even had a nightmare last night, so the curious Jimmy Butler walked up to Rose and asked in a low voice, "Hey, what did Xie tell you?" ”

Rose replied with a smile, "He said he was going to blow you up tonight!" ”

"Damn, this arrogant fellow, I'd like to see what he's capable of!" Rose's words instantly aroused Jimmy Butler's fighting spirit!

Far outside the arena, other playoff opponents are also paying attention to this game, including the Cavaliers, Warriors, Clippers and Rockets.

However, there is a team member who has been eliminated from the tournament and is also paying attention. He didn't even make the playoffs.

Oklahoma City, inside a luxury villa.

A woman appeared in front of Westbrook, a Thunder player, carrying a suitcase that had already packed her things, with a look of grievance: "I have already planned to go abroad, why do I have to delay it?" I've packed my things, whatever, we're leaving early tomorrow morning! ”

She is Wei Shao's wife Nina, and Wei Shao hurriedly cared for her: "Honey, don't worry, anyway, we have time this summer, why don't we wait until the end of this season before leaving?" You know, my good brothers James Harden and Chris Shea have a chance to advance to the Finals, and if the Finals are a matchup, I have to watch it live, and maybe TNT will invite me to be a guest commentator! ”

In the last dispute, Nina finally compromised, but said: "James Harden's Rockets have fallen behind 1:3, and there is no hope of advancing to the Finals for a long time, Xie is also behind, so let's do it, if the Heat can win today, I will promise you, if the Heat also loses, you must follow me early tomorrow morning!" ”

"Good! I promise you! Wei Shao also had to compromise. He didn't know how important his stay was to Xie Chen!

The two soon snuggled together to watch live TV, Wei Shao also read Xie Chen's Twitter, and he also wanted to know what Xie Chen's secret weapon was tonight!

After all, Xie Chen was already very comprehensive. How else can it be strong?

CCTV commentators Yu Jia and Su Qun also started the commentary of the game.

Yu Jia: "In this NBA league, there has always been something that can surprise everyone, except for Xie Chen, I can't find a second one, Mr. Su, how strong do you think Xie Chen can be?" Assuming his individual strength increases, will it make a difference to this series? ”

Su Qun replied: "That's for sure, Xie Chen has always been an important factor affecting the team's victory or defeat, the question is where is his strength?" Is it a shot or a rebound, a breakaway or a steal? And I personally think that Xie Chen is already very strong, and it is possible that he said this as a mist bomb to confuse the opponent, but it is certain that Xie Chen will definitely do his best to play this time. ”

"Okay, so let's see what kind of performance 'full thanks' will bring, the two sides jump the ball in the middle circle, oh, Hassan looks energetic tonight, the Heat jump the ball and take the lead in the first attack." Yu Jia began the commentary of the game.

The race has finally begun! The atmosphere at the scene of the United Center also changed suddenly, the whole scene seemed very calm and tense, and everyone turned their eyes to Xie Chen, what changes would he have tonight!

As soon as Xie Chen held the ball, Jimmy Butler posted it, but his heart was pounding: "It's finally here, Xie, if you have any powerful tricks, let's use them all!" ”

However, in the first ball, Xie Chen was not in a hurry to attack, but quickly transferred the ball to Wade, Wade also patiently transmitted, and finally gave it to Luo Er Deng, Luo Er Deng found that there was no chance, so he passed the ball to Xie Chen, but hesitated when passing it, and was quickly stealed by Jimmy Butler!

Butler was unstoppable and scored two points with a quick dunk.

"Hahaha, is this the strongest Xie? I can't even catch the ball! The fans at the scene began to mock Xie Chen mercilessly.

Luo Erdeng stepped forward and said to Xie Chen apologetically: "I'm sorry, this ball is my fault." ”

Xie Chen patted the other party with a smile: "It's okay, go on." ”

In the second offense, Xie Chen was still not impatient, and still let Wade play first, which made the Bulls fans so anxious, and Jimmy Butler was also confused, what can you do! It's easy to get hurt internally if you hold it like this all the time!

Attacking again, Xie Chen and Jimmy Butler had a chance to go head-to-head, Butler thought that this time Xie Chen should use his secret weapon, Xie Chen was also hesitating, he first made a tentative step, and then, leaned on Butler with his body, and then took two steps to the right, suddenly stopped and leaned back, and the ball swayed and reluctantly entered the net.

At this time, Jimmy Butler snorted coldly, walked up to Xie Chen, and said, "I thought you had something powerful, it turned out that you were still these old routines!" Listen, next, you won't be able to hit a single goal! (To be continued......) R1292
